Question
Solve the equation
Solve for a
Solve for b
Solve for c
a=∣c∣ba=−∣c∣b
Evaluate
b2=a2c2
Rewrite the expression
b2=c2a2
Swap the sides of the equation
c2a2=b2
Divide both sides
c2c2a2=c2b2
Divide the numbers
a2=c2b2
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
a=±c2b2
